Jul 22, 2021•1 hr•Season 2Ep. 90
Episode description
Mark Orval is the star or as he remarks 'victim' of 'Angry Dad'. The social media videos took Australia by storm as his sons Mitchell & Dylan took the mickey out of their old man on film. Yet for all the laughs we've shared with the Orval family, there is a story that has deeper roots of more difficult times that Mark shared for the first time in his in his 2020 documentary 'F#!% Off Mitchell'. A story of broken dreams & a battle with depression, Mark shared his tale in a hope to encourage more men to speak up about mental health. Depression wasn't the last challenge Mark would face having received an urgent call from his doctor a few months ago, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer & just 12 weeks ago had it surgically removed. I had the pleasure of sharing a conversation with Mark as we discussed his journey, the lessons he's learnt along the way & his words of wisdom particularly focused at the notion of disappointment vs regret. A long journey ahead as Mark aims to find his health again but one I wish him & his growing family all the best with.
